1) Gold income - I'm now Sun Tear farming with ten Heroes (two parties). I really don't know where I can go from here because the rare resources after Sun Tears (Dragon Scale and Adamantium) are sold at a (much) lower price. What should be my next goal in terms of ramping up my gold income?

2) Gem expenditure - I just bought the 100 gem/day plan. I'm not spending any gems at the moment. Should I?

3) Chests - should I open all chests I can find? I have been selling Golds and Mythics on the marketboard so far. I have a lack of Wooden and Leather chests. Do you think I should buy them from the marketboard at this stage? I'm definitely not doing lower-level quests anymore .

4) Daily quests - in your opinion are these worth it for Blueprint fragments?

5) PVP - what's in it for me (personally) besides bags? Should I be actively working on Personal Quests (which I have been neglecting in favour of rare resource farming)?

1) prices on resources are very fluctuating. Adamantium is usually cost more then Sun Tear. Build several 6-heroes party because keys only available as special loot for 6 heroes.2) Best choice to spend gems is adding slots to cauldron (it is only available for gems). Next you can be interesting in upgrading some trade/quest/craft slots. Sometimes it is worth to upgrade exceptional crafts (flawless -> epic, epic -> legendary) with gems.3) It is up to you, but sooner or later you will come to the point that you need those chest' BPs. I think your level is good enough to start opening wooden/leather/iron chests. If you want it fast - buy keys/chests from auction. If you want it slow - farm chests and open it with keys from raid.4) definitely worth it. Daily quests are the main source to get fragments.5) it is up to you. If you don't need that bags - don't do pvp Later, when you get bored with crafting/questing you can start working on pvp setups.

2) I thought I could just upgrade the trade/quest/craft slots by levelling up and paying Gold? As for Cauldron, by levelling up the Cauldron.

You can ADD new trade/quest/craft slots by leveling up and paying gold.UPGRADING those slots available only for gems.As for Cauldron, you have 5 slots INSIDE cauldron, which are opened by leveling it up. Also you have up to 4 fusion slots (they accessible outside of cauldron, next to move/rotate buttons) which allow you to fuse several items simultaneously

Also: the ability to spend gems on buying another fusion slot opens up at different cauldron levels. (their costs are 1000/3000/5000 gems for the 2nd/3rd/4th fusion slot)

I'm not sure if anyone has checked if there's an exp different between selling and buying of the same item.It could just be that the hero sold you a more expensive/higher exp item. Most chest items for example have higher base gold/exp than non-chest items of similar level/type.
